News from Mokpo, South Korea

Greetings Saints and Prayer Partners,

God's hand is on us for good and we thank you all for praying. We had a safe trip and arrival in Korea with all our luggage, etc. We have some effects of jet-lag, but are doing fine. The first flight was thirteen hours from Chicago to Tokyo. The total time was about 24 hours from start to finish before we got to lay down.

Our first conference is almost over. We have experienced wonderful favor in a large Church of God congregation. The pastor loves our ministry and wants us to come back and speak to a lot of city pastors and Brenda to speak to large gatherings of ladies. In the evening services we lay hands on about 700 people and pray over them a blessing and the fire of God. These people are more reserved and traditional than many congregations in Korea, but they are very hungry and responsive. We have shared on the power of listening to God and having His Word in our mouths.

Our schedule is busy but we get some breaks - like now - Wednesday afternoon. Our hotel is on the coast of Korea overlooking a beautiful harbor. Yesterday we took a walk along the shore and bought a few little goodies in a small shop.

Our friend, Ingela Larsson, was asked to speak in the 4 A M morning prayer meeting. We thought there would be just a few people there, but the place was packed. Almost everyone comes to early morning prayer before going to work or starting their normal day. The people loved her stories and she has blessed a lot of people here.

Tomorrow we travel back to Seoul where we will do two services after we arrive in a smaller church. Then we minister in one larger church in Seoul, before heading south again to Kwangju where we have been twice before. Then we fly to Taiwan to meet with Joshua and Haydee Chang to minister to their friends and at least one church.

I need to go now, but wanted to give you the first report. We believe that God is laying a great foundation for powerful revival in Korea. It will be another major wave that will impact the world. Pray with us to that end.

God bless you all with His presence and Power,

Ben and Brenda
